5:30 pm
this is bbc news, the headlines... the bbc obtain new footage after two teenagers were killed in a crash in cardiff on monday. officials insists they were not being chased by the police. two big political stories in the uk — we have the latest on the controversies involving the home secretary and boris johnson. uk inflation falls below 10% for the first time since august, but food bills rise at the fastest in 45 years. a senior doctor with key role in reforming the controversial tavistock gender unit for children has questioned the need for change.
5:31 pm
new figures here in the uk show that the rate at which prices are rising has fallen sharply, hitting single figures for the first time since last august. the annual rate for april fell to 8.7%, down from 10.1% in march, but still higher than predicted. a quick global comparison — in the us, the rate of inflation stood at 4.9% in the 12 months to april, falling for the tenth month in a row. the eurozone rate rose slightly in april to 7%, but that figure is still down from 8.5% in february. the bbc�*s economics correspondent andy verity explained. if you want to be half—full, at least it's in single digits now. for three months in a row, it's defied expectations it would drop into the single digits, and it stayed in double digits. so that has been coming down, and there are some nice signs — like for example, petrol is cheaper than it was a year ago, some
5:32 pm
second—hand cars have been coming down in price, and generally goods price inflation, which has been driving this, has subsided a little bit, so it's only 10%, or is last time presented was 12.8%. but services prices on the other hand, the prices of your haircut, taxi ride, etc have been rising, and they've gone up from 6.6% inflation to 6.9%. that's what will really worry the bank of england, because it suggests that the global inflationary pressures have become embedded domestically, and that's why it feels it has to rise interest rates to stop it from becoming too entrenched. live now to fraser mckevitt — he's from consumer research group, ka ntar. thank you so much forjoining us here on the programme. when you look at the food inflation numbers, the fastest rate in 45 years, that is a huge problem, isn't it, for millions

5:34 pm
storage, to shipping to get out to the supermarket tills. the supermarket always looked to lock down their prices for a period of time ahead, so they probably got contracts running in the number of months, around six months. wholesale prices might be going down, but i think it might take a while before the shopperfeels at think it might take a while before the shopper feels at the tills. because of that, shoppers are voting with their feet and voting, where possible, to mitigate inflationary things and by the cheaper stuff at the food markets, which is the own the food markets, which is the own the labels rather than the internationally famous brands. i internationally famous brands. i read out earlier that the regulators have actually opened an investigation in terms of prices on food, where should they actually be looking, do you think? the supermarkets _ looking, do you think? the supermarkets are - looking, do you think? the supermarkets are in - looking, do you think? tue: supermarkets are in a looking, do you think? tte: supermarkets are in a bit looking, do you think? t"t;a: supermarkets are in a bit of looking, do you think? tte: supermarkets are in a bit of a looking, do you think? t“t;a: supermarkets are in a bit of a bind because it's a very competitive market. so the average british shopper can go to perhaps 3—4 supermarkets very easily. so
5:35 pm
although people are wondering who is making money out of these prices going up, it's not entirely clear that it's the supermarkets doing it because it is so price competitive. if any retailer gets out of line in that price competition, it's pretty clear from the data that shoppers vote with their feet and will go to a rival. so what supermarkets are doing is trying to invest in price, particularly these days, through loyalty card promotions. so if you want the best prices, you need to take the loyalty card with you, otherwise some of those deals will be available to you as a shopper. iiit be available to you as a shopper. in terms of consumers, they are doing all the obvious stuff — loyalty points, shopping around — there's not a great deal you can do when you're faced with price hikes. i was taking you through just a short while ago, when will food price inflation come down to single digits, do you think?— inflation come down to single digits, do you think? you're quite riaht digits, do you think? you're quite right about _ digits, do you think? you're quite right about it's _ digits, do you think? you're quite right about it's pretty _ digits, do you think? you're quite right about it's pretty hard - digits, do you think? you're quite right about it's pretty hard to - right about it's pretty hard to avoid it, and that's because this is non—discretionary spending. people can choose not to buy a new car,
5:36 pm
they can choose not to go on holiday or delay that mobile phone upgrade — they simply can't choose when to feed themselves and their family. it's hard to look at the future and it's hard to look at the future and i think people have been burned by calling the top of food price inflation before, but we are about to come annualized, which is lap last year's to come annualized, which is lap last yea r�*s very to come annualized, which is lap last year's very high inflation rates which really started taking off after the russian invasion of ukraine. so mathematically, if nothing else, i would expect inflation start coming down in the next couple months. that doesn't mean food will be cheaper, just going up less quickly. mean food will be cheaper, 'ust going up less quicklyfi mean food will be cheaper, 'ust going up less quickly. that's quite some assessment, _ going up less quickly. that's quite some assessment, thanks - going up less quickly. that's quite some assessment, thanks for - going up less quickly. that's quite i some assessment, thanks forjoining us on the programme and taking us through some of the key issues coming out of today's numbers. he is currently the governor of
5:37 pm
florida, he is expected to make that announcement public after a twitter conversation with elon musk. he joins a field involving nikki haley and tim scott — the former president donald trump is the favourite to secure that nomination. he is currently leading the polls by over 30%, according to one cbs news poll. let's talk to taylor griffin, a former white house spokesman during the bush administration, a republican strategist. welcome to the programme. so what chance for ron desantis, do you think? anyone lookin: for ron desantis, do you think? anyone looking for an _ ron desantis, do you think? anyone looking for an alternative _ ron desantis, do you think? anyone looking for an alternative to - ron desantis, do you think? anyone looking for an alternative to trump, | looking for an alternative to trump, desantis feels that an issue. here's the problem with the republican party hat — you have a base republican voter that's very animated by the populism of donald trump, then you have a general election voter that is not so
5:38 pm
comfortable with donald trump and his antics. desantis is offering something in the middle — he's trying to appeal to the anti—woke is him and populism of the republican primary base, while at the same time offering an appealing package to the general. desantis is saying, "i am trump, i believe all the same things you believe in the republican base, but i don't create the chaos, i don't come with all the baggage of trump, that means i can actually win the general election."— the general election." "trump without the — the general election." "trump without the drama," - the general election." "trump without the drama," how - the general election." "trump l without the drama," how strong the general election." "trump - without the drama," how strong a pitch is that you think realistically with the way things are looking at the moment? he will have to prove _ are looking at the moment? he will have to prove it. _ are looking at the moment? he will have to prove it. republican - are looking at the moment? he will| have to prove it. republican primary voters were willing to give desantis a shot, especially this past winter, they really started to look hard at
5:39 pm
desantis. but as time has gone on, his star has sort of faded a little bit. in the question is whether he can recapture that momentum when the primary race starts in earnest, which starts today. i think the only reasonable contenders for the republican primary are donald trump and ron desantis. what trump is saying is that if you like to trump, why don't you vote for trump? desantis is saying, "yeah, but you won't win a general election." that's not always very persuasive with republican primary voters, we will see how things go as the election goes on, but i think one of the reasons desantis is going to a very unconventional campaign announcement on twitter is he trying to reach may be a section of the potential republican primary voters that have been turned off by politics, disinterested in trump, or maybe that's who are maybe on
5:40 pm
twitter and he can find them there and maybe capture a new slice of the gop primary base, put together with voters he can persuade.— voters he can persuade. interesting where he's — voters he can persuade. interesting where he's making _ voters he can persuade. interesting where he's making this _ voters he can persuade. interesting where he's making this statement. | voters he can persuade. interesting l where he's making this statement. in terms of how that battle might go with donald trump, how dirty do you anticipate it getting? t with donald trump, how dirty do you anticipate it getting?— anticipate it getting? i don't know. on the desantis _ anticipate it getting? i don't know. on the desantis side, _ anticipate it getting? i don't know. on the desantis side, there's - anticipate it getting? i don't know. on the desantis side, there's not i on the desantis side, there's not a lot to gain for him criticising trump — trump's legal woes, the whole thing about him saying he won the election... whole thing about him saying he won the election. . ._ the election... what about the other wa , the election... what about the other way. though. _ the election... what about the other way, though, about _ the election... what about the other way, though, about trump - the election... what about the other way, though, about trump towards l way, though, about trump towards desantis goes back to sanctimonious, one of the lines that donald trump has already trying out, i'm sure there's others in the locker? t’m there's others in the locker? i'm sure trump _ there's others in the locker? i'm sure trump will _ there's others in the locker? tn sure trump will go very hard on desantis, he will try to paint desantis, he will try to paint desantis as a wolf in sheep's

5:42 pm
and is scheduled and expected to meet the prime minister and the chancellor to finalise that dealfor a giga—factory, a massive multi—billion—pound battery factory of which jaguar land rover, which tata owns, will be the main customer. but i'm also told is that a very cat—and—mouse negotiation between the uk and spain, with both offering subsidies and carrots and incentives to do this, have moved from that phase now into the draughting of the press releases and the presentation and the choreography of how this landmark deal will be announced. because the uk government has come under a lot of fire recently from manufacturers here that it is not looking forward enough into making this battery capacity — because in the future, unless you have a battery industry, you won't have a car industry as the mandated move to electric vehicles will start taking place between 2030—35. as you said in your introduction there, some in the industry are saying this is a very significant moment akin to whenjapanese car—maker nissan arrived, paving the way for others
5:43 pm
to the uk in the 1980s. and some in the industry hope that this will be a momentum shift, a sort of tipping point that will give others confidence to come into an industry because you'll need a lot of this capacity. the uk currently only has one working battery factory, it's got one very much on the drawing board. this one, which looks set to get the green light, whereas in the eu they've got 35 — and bear in mind, the us is busy pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into subsidies for people who want to move production in their supply chains over there. so a key battle in a key moment. and, simon, i mentioned there in the introduction that it could create up to 9,000 jobs — that's a huge headline figure. do we know much about the detail of what it was in the end, if it turns out to be what you just described, what has encouraged them to make the call to come to the uk? what got it over the line? it didn't come cheap and was not easily won, this negotiation, which we're expecting them to confirm in the next few days.
5:44 pm
if you put together roughly £400—500 million in cash grants, energy subsidies, research and development funding on the car battery side of it, and then add to that tata steel have also been in negotiations about lowering their energy bills and getting some cash grants to upgrade their steel facilities, you're talking about a bill to the uk government of around £800 million. similar subsidies available in spain, but something about the skilled uk workforce, the heritage of jaguar land rover here in the uk, i think those also played a part. so familiarity there, and also proximity of course to where these cars are actually assembled in the midlands, about 100 miles up the road from this, that also played a part. sophie, the duchess of edinburgh, has said she's "deeply saddened" by the death of a woman who was hit by a motorbike that was part of her police escort. the family of 81—year—old helen holland say she suffered massive internal injuries
5:45 pm
in the collision in west london two weeks ago, and she has now died in hospital. the police watchdog is investigating what happened. jon donnison reports. helen holland had been visiting her sister in west london when she was hit by a police motorcycle escorting the duchess of edinburgh. in a statement, her family told us the incident left the 81—year—old with multiple broken bones and internal injuries, and that after nearly two weeks fighting for her life, the irreversible damage to her brain had entered the battle. —— ended the battle. sophie, the duchess of edinburgh, seen here with her husband edward over the coronation weekend, is the king's sister—in—law. responding to the news today, buckingham palace said she was deeply saddened to hear of the death and said the duchess sent her deepest condolences and sympathies to all of miss holland's family. at the scene of the collision, a few flowers have been left. there is a pelican crossing,
5:46 pm
but it's a big, busy road, with fast—moving traffic. in a statement, the met said it passed on its condolences to helen holland's family, and that what it called a tragic outcome was being felt by colleagues across the force. it also said that it was co—operating fully with the investigation being carried out by the independent office for police conduct. the iopc have said cctv and body worn camera footage will be examined. they are in touch with helen holland's family, who say they are desperate for answers. jon donnison, bbc news. a senior doctor who has a key role in reforming the controversial tavistock gender unit for children has questioned the need for change. professor gary butler, who is clinical lead for the only nhs children's gender clinic in england and wales, also called into question the ethics of dr hilary cass, who is the author of the review into the london clinic. the current gender identity development service has been
5:47 pm
earmarked for closure. joining us now from the newsroom is hannah barnes, from newsnight programme. first of all, just remind us of some of the background and context of what we are talking about here? this what we are talking about here? sis you what we are talking about here? is you say, the gender identity development service is the only specialist in hs service for children and young people in england and wales —— nhs service, and it's undoubtedly helped some young people , but other young people say they've been let down. injuly last year, nhs england decided they would close it and replace it with two regional centres, and that followed two major developments. one was the health care inspectors of the coc went into the clinic in autumn 2020, following reports by bbc news night expressing
5:48 pm
some of the concerns of whistle—blowers there — those inspectors, although they found staff to be kind and compassionate towards the young people, they found several aspects of the care being provided — they were quite critical of it and rated the service as inadequate. then we got the interim review being carried out by dr hilary cass, who you mentioned in the queue, and she called for a fundamentally different model to caring for these young people. and so it was meant to have been closed this spring, that's now been delayed. the first of these new hubs, which will be based in london, is expected to open in the autumn, the other in the north of england not until next march. take the other in the north of england not until next march.— not until next march. take us throu~h not until next march. take us through some _ not until next march. take us through some of _ not until next march. take us through some of the - not until next march. take us through some of the latest i through some of the latest developments, and also where does this leave those children and young people who actually need care? 50 people who actually need care? sr
5:49 pm
firstly, what we've been given here at newsnight is a recording of a gentleman called professor gary butler, the clinical lead, possibly the most senior doctor in the current service, a paediatric endocrinologist based at university couege endocrinologist based at university college london hospital. as part of that role, he prescribes puberty blockers and hormones to those young people who have been assessed as being suitable for those by gids. in this recording, he can be heard questioning the need for any reform to the system. he says, "it's exactly what we're doing at the present time and what gids is doing." he's also heard implying that perhaps nepotism has played part in selecting the hospitals that will form part of these new hubs, because the author of this independent review, dr hilary cass, previously worked for two of them. why this matters as professor butler has been given a key role in
5:50 pm
implementing these very changes that dr hilary cass has set out. he's been given an education role in these new services training new staff to start implementing the findings of the cast review. now where this leaves young people — i think there is agreement this is the worst of all worlds for them. one of the difficulties gids faced was a lack of capacity to deal with ever—increasing demand for their service. there are currently 8000, possibly more young people waiting for help — some of them have been waiting for years, and there is currently nothing available to them, no new cases are being opened at gids in these new services aren't read . ., ., gids in these new services aren't read . . . ., , . gids in these new services aren't read. . . ., , . ., ready. hannah, thanks very much for takin: us ready. hannah, thanks very much for taking us through _ ready. hannah, thanks very much for taking us through those _ ready. hannah, thanks very much for taking us through those key - ready. hannah, thanks very much for taking us through those key planks i taking us through those key planks in the latest developments. you can see more on this investigation on newsnight tonight at 10:30pm on bbc two and iplayer.

5:54 pm
the scene is set, now explain it. the thing we've realised is the success of these birds stealing our food comes from their intelligence, rather than their aggression. so they observe us and can use that as a short cut to know which objects in the world they should be focusing on for their food. the world they should be focusing on fortheirfood. so the world they should be focusing on for their food. so they want to try to reduce thefts, we need to reduce the visibility of interesting food items, and we need to keep waste and other food objects away from them so they can't learn so quickly about food that we eat. 50 they can't learn so quickly about food that we eat.— they can't learn so quickly about food that we eat. so they are pretty cunnin: , food that we eat. so they are pretty cunning. but _ food that we eat. so they are pretty cunning. but in _ food that we eat. so they are pretty cunning, but in terms _ food that we eat. so they are pretty cunning, but in terms of _ food that we eat. so they are pretty cunning, but in terms of species - cunning, but in terms of species being able to develop and learn stuff like this, where are seagulls compared to other species? pretty hiuh - compared to other species? pretty high - they — compared to other species? pretty high - they are _ compared to other species? pretty high - they are thieves _ compared to other species? pretty high - they are thieves by - compared to other species? pretty high - they are thieves by nature, | high — they are thieves by nature, which means you need an intelligence toolkit that gives you skills of observation and understanding of other�*s behaviour. they stick to themselves, so to speak, and are only good at interpreting cues from other... of their types, whereas goals can learn rapidly from other

the same time tomorrow. goodbye for now. hello. we've seen some spectacular sunrise and sunset pictures over the last 2a hours, like this one from warwickshire. now a lot of the cloud you could see here is actually aeroplane contrails — in other words, the water that comes out of the back of aeroplane engines turns to ice crystals to make these clouds. now the contrails can last for many, many hours if there's a lot of moisture in the atmosphere seven miles above our head, the height aeroplanes fly — that's exactly what's been going on. however, through today, we seen those contrails blow towards france, at the same time, we've had some drier air seven miles up in the atmosphere working across england and a way. in other words, those contrails are not going to be quite as widespread, nor as long—lived over the next couple of days. now, today, we've seen lots of warm weather. the temperatures quite widely
5:57 pm
across the midlands, south and east wales, southern england reached the low 20s, and we've got more of the same to come, as well. now, overnight tonight, we'll keep clear skies, just a few patches of cloud from drifting southwards across parts of england. the skies clearing in scotland to give some colder weather here, with temperatures dipping down into low single figures in the coldest areas as we head into the first part of thursday morning. but essentially, the weather won't change a whole lot over the next few days, thanks to this big area of high pressure. the winds continue to come around that from the atlantic, so temperatures aren't going to change a great deal either. thursday then, perhaps a little bit more in the way of cloud across central and eastern england, but still some spells of sunshine. and at the same time, there should be more in the way of sunshine to look forward to in scotland. wherever you are, our temperatures are likely to reach the high teens to low 20s pretty widely, and will likely peak at around 23 for southeast wales, the west midlands, and southwest england. how warm's 23? well, compared with warm spells we've seen over recent mays,
5:58 pm
23 kind of puts us right at the bottom of the pile. more often than not, more spells at this time of year bring those two pictures into the mid—to—high 20s. now for friday, there's again little overall change in the big weather picture. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine around. this time, probably less cloud for eastern england, a bit more cloud for scotland, where there could be an odd passing spot of rain in the northwest. but for the vast majority, it's dry and it's warm in the may sunshine, with temperatures again in high teens to low 20s. and this fine, sunny, settled spell of weather is set to last throughout the bank holiday weekend and into the early part of the new week, as well. that's the latest, bye for now.
